After each attempt, the CET Cell gives candidates a chance to check the question paper, their recorded responses and the provisional answer key, and to raise objections if they believe an answer is wrong. This makes the result process transparent.

MHT CET 2026 Answer Key and Objection Windows

The 2026 dates and fees in this table are from news reports; always follow the official notice on the CET Cell portal for your attempt.

How to Raise an Objection

1. Log in to the CET Cell candidate portal with your registration credentials.

2. Open the objection / grievance link for your group and attempt.

3. View your question paper, response sheet and provisional answer key.

4. Select the question you want to challenge, choose the answer you believe is correct, and explain your reasoning. Upload supporting proof (textbook page or reference) if possible.

5. Pay the objection fee online for each question challenged.

6. Track the status through the objection/grievance tracking option in your login.

What Happens After Objections

• Subject experts review every objection.

• If an objection is accepted, the answer key is revised before results are processed.

• The final answer key is used to calculate raw scores, which are then normalised into percentiles.

• Frivolous or unsupported objections are rejected and the fee is not refunded (as per 2026 reports).

How to Estimate Your Score

Compare your response sheet with the provisional key. For PCM: add 1 mark for each correct Physics or Chemistry answer and 2 marks for each correct Maths answer. For PCB: 1 mark for every correct answer. There are no deductions for wrong answers. Remember, your percentile also depends on how others in your session performed.

Key Takeaways

• Question paper, response sheet and provisional key are shown in the candidate login after each attempt.
